13.Our members are definitely ________ making concessions (让步) on the safety question.
A.devoted to B.used to
C.opposed to D.objected to
解析:选C 句意:我们的成员绝对反对在安全问题上让步。be opposed to"反对......",符合句意。be devoted to"致力于......";be used to"习惯于......";object to"反对",不用被动。注意这几个to都是介词。
14.She likes ________ but she doesn't like ________ this afternoon. She'd like ________ some other day.
A.swimming; swimming; to swim
B.to swim; swimming; to swim
